DS1 applied to 11 schools - six private and five UC’s. Filling out the FAFSA there are 10 spaces for colleges so we put down the six private and four of the UC’s. Do we need to submit another separate FASFA for the one UC that didn’t make it on the first one? Or is it like with the HS transcripts where you just send them to one UC and all of them get the information? I don’t think we’re going to get any federal or state aid in any event. So I’m inclined to just let it go as-is. But perhaps someone has insight on this? Thank you.
You wait until the first submission has processed, you will get an email when it has. Then you go in to the fafsa, remove one school and add the extra one. Yes, you have to submit to all UCs. When you update the fafsa later, you will have to do the same thing so that all schools get the updates.
Note that http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/paying-for-uc/files/fafsa-tips.pdf suggests listing a California school first on the FAFSA.
Given the talk about how some schools check FAFSA order to try to see which school is the student’s first choice, it may be wise to check whether each school uses “level of applicant’s interest” and consider listing those schools first on the FAFSA. Of the UCs, UCI and UCM use “level of applicant’s interest”, but the others do not.
Are you sure @annoyingdad? A couple of years ago, UC said that all supporting information need only be sent to one UC and it would be shared.

For fafsa the federal government controls how it has to be submitted, not the UCs.
I guess there was a change
